Why are there two LIGO observatories?

LIGO has two detectors ~3000 km apart for three main reasons:
🎧 Noise discrimination
⏰ Signal timing
🗺️ Source localization

[NASA @NASA]

Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Our launch tomorrow at 7:20 am ET (12:20 UTC) is just the start of a million mile journey for #NASAWebb! Here's what's coming up: https://t.co/vb1QHpdcAJ

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

Each of the circles in this tree represents one of the gravitational wave events we detected so far along with @LIGO, from the first detection in 2015 (top) to the 35 events detected in the second part of the third observing run (dark green, bottom).

@astrobel_rs @c_debatri Thanks!!

[Penny Kolitsidou @KoPenny_]

My copy just arrived and it's amazing! I have to do some serious colouring during the weekend! Well done @c_debatri and @astrobel_rs!

[✨ Dr Mayoress Isobel Romero-Shaw ✨ @astrobel_rs]

I am very happy to announce that @c_debatri and I have published a sciencey colouring book! It features 17 influential women in physics, fun facts, science snippets, creativity prompts, and much more. Please share with the budding physicists in your life! https://t.co/P2aZNzSkWD

[LIGO @LIGO]

We have exciting news! We've just released our new @LIGO @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR catalog #GWTC3,which includes many more detections from the 2nd part of #O3 and brings our total number of #GravitationalWaves events to 90. Read all about #GWTC3 at https://t.co/43rLJ2lJhr
